Colorwise, those three fabrics go together well.

Texturewise - not so much, IMO.

I could see them in three different items, used in the same room. I don't think I would put them all in the same item.

But these are your fabrics and your projects - soooooo - it is what appeals to you, that matters.

I'd add some tone-on-tone reds and also creams/neutrals, so your quilt is not overwhelmed with prints.

Very pretty fabrics, whatever you do with them!

They are so beautiful and Christmassy. If you can't find a quilt pattern, I had a similar cardinal fabric and made lots of potholders for Christmas presents. They would also make beautiful reversible placemats with coordinating napkins.

I think all 3 fabrics are beautiful. I think the snowflake and ribbon fabrics both look great with the cardinal fabric, however, I do not think the greens between the snowflake and ribbon fabrics look good together. I would do a window quilt (black for window trim), cardinals outside, and either fabric for the wallpaper inside. Just my opinion. It'll be great whatever you use.

Id add another fabrics and do a disappearing 9 patch with the birds as main square. Keep other fabrics plain.

how about this pattern: and use the cardinal fabric on back and the ribbon fabric as a boarder:

or this pattern, again with the cardinal fabric on back and the ribbon fabric as a boarder:

I saw the cardinal fabric done in the attic window pattern before. Really cute.

This fabric is beautiful! No matter what you decide to make with it, you can't go wrong.
